Re: Things you like and don't like about where you live
(Anonymous) 2016-09-24 02:09 am (UTC)(link)Good:
-There's some cool and interesting history in my town.
-People here are generally pretty friendly.
-It's where I was born and grew up, so I'll always have a special fondness for the town on that level.
-We get lots of snow here in the winter time, which makes me happy.
-I know people like to joke about Iowa being totally flat, but that's not entirely true (the western and eastern sides have foothills and whatnot), and even in the flat areas, the scenery is still really pretty in many ways.
-We do tend to be a little more progressive politically sometimes than other states in this part of the country.
-Iowa usually finds itself somewhere in the "top 10" list of something or other (top ten best places to live, best states for education standards, happiest people, things of that sort).
-The bigger cities in this state often tend to have a pretty cool culture of some kind, there's stuff to do and neat events going on somewhere.
-Cost of living is pretty reasonable.
Bad:
-We get tornadoes and really nasty floods, and when it gets hot here it can get very uncomfortable because of the humidity.
-We have morons like Steve King, Joni Ernst, and Terry Branstad representing our state politically, and I want to apologize to the entire country for that :/.
-Any young people who don't live somewhere like Iowa City or Des Moines or Ames and so on really don't have a whole lot of options of things to DO here. As a result, they often don't stick around their towns and the state as a whole very long after college (or even before college) because of that.
-My particular city doesn't have a whole lot of variety in terms of its job opportunities, and while I love that we have an interesting history, I think our city tends to rely solely on that as its draw for residents and visitors, and doesn't really seem to be all that imaginative in figuring out other cool ways to bring people here.
-Our state has a HUGE meth problem. I think we're one of the top states for meth users, actually. Woo.
